Ingredients

  • 3 Roma Tomatoes halved and seeded
  • 2 Pieces Cooked Crispy Bacon diced
  • 6 Chives chopped
  • ½ Cup Diced Roasted Red Peppers
  • ¾ Cup Blue Cheese Crumbles
  • Pinch of Salt
  • Pinch of Black Pepper
  • 4 Tablespoons Cream Cheese at room temperature
  • ½ Cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 1 Clove Garlic grated
  • ½ Cup Panko Breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Add the salt, pepper, cream cheese, blue cheese crumbles, and heavy cream to a food processor. Pulse together for a minute or two until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Spoon cream cheese mixture into a small mixing bowl. Add chopped bacon, chives, and red peppers to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until well combined.
  3. Spoon a few tablespoons of the cream cheese filling into each tomato. Set on a small baking sheet. Turn the broiler on high.
  4. In a small pan, melt butter over low heat. Add grated garlic and breadcrumbs once the butter melts. Cook breadcrumbs over low until they turn light golden brown. Add a spoonful of breadcrumbs to each tomato.
  5. Place tomatoes under the broiler for five minutes until the filling gets hot and the breadcrumbs turn a deep golden color. Serve right away.
